The 98th Academy Awards with Guy Branum & Nina Parker

In This Episode

Louis Virtel is joined by Guy Branum and Nina Parker to discuss all things Oscars as they recap the 98th Academy Awards hosted by Conan O’Brien. They unpack why the Oscars can’t seem to find anyone but a straight man to host as well as the political and symbolic importance of Sinners. They also analyze each of the major categories in addition to the most memorable moments from this year’s broadcast including Barbara Streisand’s tribute to Robert Redford which of course became very Barbara-focused.
